Prey521 · Post by **Prey521** » Wed Oct 01, 2008 9:03 am

blebs · Post by **blebs** » Wed Oct 01, 2008 10:09 am

I"m still waiting to see $1.75 a gallon again. Until then it's still way too high.

Post by **YeOldeStonecat** » Wed Oct 01, 2008 12:53 pm

Been on a steady ...albeit slow, decline for quite a few weeks now. I think it's hovering in the low 3.70 range.

De Plano · Post by **De Plano** » Wed Oct 01, 2008 1:22 pm

$4.20 around here I am pretty sure

YARDofSTUF · Post by **YARDofSTUF** » Wed Oct 01, 2008 1:33 pm

3.40 the other day.

Indy · Post by **Indy** » Wed Oct 01, 2008 2:20 pm

Been hovering around the $3.21 point for the last few days around here...

Not sure about others areas but they started charging one price for cash and one for credit. 3.24 today for cash or 3.33 for credit.

yeah cause the stations are having to pay the credit card fee's so your seeing many get away from it.

I havent seen separate prices for cash or debit/CC yet, hopefully I won't.

ace · Post by **ace** » Wed Oct 01, 2008 9:59 pm

Not every gas station here does it. I think its crap but in the end I will pay cash to save as much money as possible.

24giovanni · Post by **24giovanni** » Wed Oct 01, 2008 10:27 pm

1 gas station 2 towns over from me is at $2.83 right now.

the only places I've ever seen it is Truckstops, usually only for truck diesel, in this area anyways..

Rivas · Post by **Rivas** » Thu Oct 02, 2008 6:11 am

nope

they said $1.20 and it's still at $1.32-35

d2fanatic007 · Post by **d2fanatic007** » Thu Oct 02, 2008 9:13 am

Gas seems to be $3.21 everywhere around here, one place had $3.18 and as for cash/credit prices they used to be within a 10 cent difference but that seemed to stop about a week ago

A_old · Post by **A_old** » Thu Oct 02, 2008 9:17 am

$4.40 at the nearest place that had it last night. Most stations on the nearest major road were still out, though.

Gixxer · Post by **Gixxer** » Thu Oct 02, 2008 9:37 am

i went to get it for 3.29 but they were out of reg and medium so they were giving the premium for 3.29

... filled up needless to say

I think the excuses of changing blends for winter and others the refineries are bringing up can't last for weeks which in this case is happening. Its a prime example and show of why we need to build new refineries mostly one or two in the southern us.

If it was a refinery issue it would be a much more widespread issue.

well not really... some refine fuel with different things to work in to different area's of the country for emissions. If we had more in this area to supply those stations that are out which can be built away from Hurricane paths, the southern part of the country wouldn't be in this issue or at the very least kill off 90% of it.

Indy · Post by **Indy** » Sat Oct 04, 2008 3:46 pm

Paid $3.06/gallon yesterday here. Lowest I've seen in quite awhile in these parts...

They've got to pay for that 9 billion dollar bailout somehow...

AGREED!!! Its ridiculous that gas prices more than DOUBLED within a 5 year period. It has taken roughly around 25 years for that to happen.

Sadly, we will never see fuel in the U.S. below $2.00 again.

Oh, gas here in Louisiana is around $3.40

Sava700 · Post by **Sava700** » Sun Oct 05, 2008 11:09 am

Just goes to show that something is wrong... when you have a few states having trouble getting gas, some are way too high and the rest are way below the national average..something is clearly wrong.

That's just because some places use more/less, you know, the supply/demand rules, nothing wrong with that at all. Its just that we need some relief at the pumps.

What I don't understand is that oil prices have dropped by about 30% yet I have yet to see that at the pump here where I live probably because of the recent hurricane. Hopefully it should happen soon anyway, especially since winter is on its way.

Gas now $3.36 here. wow, 4 cent difference since a couple of days ago, lol.

Gixxer · Post by **Gixxer** » Mon Oct 06, 2008 1:27 pm

3.14 this morning

Indy · Post by **Indy** » Mon Oct 06, 2008 2:26 pm

Saw gas at $3.01/gallon at one of the stations I pass on the way to work this morning. Also just read that the price of oil has dropped below $90/barrel, so I would imagine that the price will continue to drop, in addition to the current economic woes before us.
